Axes are enemies in the Hot Air series.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Hot Air[edit | edit source]
In Hot Air, there are only normal, male axes. They are a semi-circle blade with seven circular chain links leading up above them. Inside the top chain link is a large screw (or possibly bolt). In the middle of their blade is their frowning face, which consists of large black eyes, a semi-circle mouth, and a unibrow in a v shape. Underneath their eyes and next to their mouths are two, red dots for cheeks. The rest of the axe is grey.
Hot Air 2[edit | edit source]
In Hot Air 2, a new type of axe was introduced, called the female axe. The only way to tell the difference between axe genders is to look at their blade.
Male axes[edit | edit source]
In Hot Air 2, the axes look exactly the same until they see a female axe, at which their expression will change. Their mouth will become a circle, and their unibrow will become straight.
Female axes[edit | edit source]
Female axes are the same as male axes except for their faces. A female axe has a pink bow above it's semicircle blade. They have purple cheeks, and black eyes with three eyelashes on each eye.
Hot Air Jr.[edit | edit source]
As Hot Air Jr presents a lighter palette and softer style, the axes naturally look different than their prior appearances. However, their functions remain the same. Hot Air Jr also introduced a new type of axe, called mini axes. There are no female axes in this game.
Normal axes[edit | edit source]
The blades and faces of the axes are the same in Hot Air Jr as they were in the first two games, but with a lighter, more pastel tone. Instead of the small, red dots for cheeks right below their eyes, the axes now feature somewhat bigger pink cheeks that are thus separated further from their mouth. Their blades are purple instead of grey, and there are additional details like chips and cuts on them.
The chain however, is much different. The chain links are not connected, but just float in a straight line instead. There are only four chain links, and at the top is a sphere of the same size instead of a link. The axes are always attached to a block.

Game information[edit | edit source]
General behaviour[edit | edit source]
Grown axes simply swing left and right, and can be easily avoided. Sometimes stars will be in the path of the axe, and will have to be quickly grabbed if the player wishes to get a star token.
In the Hot Air series there are two genders of axes, they however do the same thing, only having a different face. If a male and female axe come close enough to see each other, their expressions will change to a more surprised look; likely referring to a love interest between them.
Hot Air 1[edit | edit source]
In Hot Air 1, the only axe is encountered on level two. It is attached to the top of the ceiling and swings back and fourth. Hot Air has to go past the axe twice to land on two orange pads to unlock the way to the red pad.
Hot Air 2[edit | edit source]
In Hot Air 2, two axes - male and female - appear on level three: So I Married an Axe Murderer. The level is long, and close to the end of the level are two swinging axes swinging close to each other. These are the only appearances of the female axe in the Hot Air series. The player has to go back and forth in the level pressing orange pads.
Hot Air Jr.[edit | edit source]
Normal axes[edit | edit source]
Normal axes act the same as they do in the previous games, except they are attached to a block. They swing at a faster pace and are bigger. They only appear in level five.
